Abstract
Although Burke was referring to the general populace, interpreting ?the people? to mean individuals gives a new meaning to his statement. According to this alternate interpretation, the Senate and other collegial bodies can be seen as collections of individuals rather than homogeneous institutions. As individuals, Senators must interact on a level far beyond political concerns. They must deal with one another as people with varying personalities. The successful are able to use their personalities to achieve their goals. The unsuccessful are unable to do so. T?he paper intends to prove that personality plays an important role in legislative work and that successful legislators utilize their personalities in order to achieve their ends.

Abstract
This is a detailed paper about eating disorders and anorexia. The paper describes the symptoms, the segment of the population most affected by eating disorders, the physical problems prolonged eating disorders can cause and some the environmental, physiological and psychological conditions that might predispose some to developing an eating disorder. The paper also explains that there are far more women with eating disorders than men and points out that this is an important factor in determining the causes of eating disorders. Additionally, the paper discusses treatment methods and prevention programs.
From the Paper
"Eating disorders and anorexia are becoming more commonplace today, and this is true particularly of young women, although older people and men sometimes also suffer from them. It is important to look at this issue as it relates to body image and how one feels about one's body, but also important to see it in the light of the way that one trusts oneself and others, and the hope for the future that is sometimes absent from the lives of these individuals. Such problems as depression can often play a large role in whether someone has problems with body image and eating disorders."

The "Bodies" Exhibit, 2007.
A description of the "Bodies" exhibit that uses plasticized corpses to display human anatomy and physiology.
935 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes the "Bodies" exhibit, one of several traveling science exhibitions illustrating human anatomy through a remarkable use of real human cadavers. The paper explains that the exhibit includes whole plasticized corpses placed in athletic poses that show off the inner workings of the human body, as well as body parts, for a more in-depth analysis of organs and systems. The paper is of the opinion that in spite of its coldly scientific vibe, the exhibit is well-managed, inspiring and highly informative.
From the Paper
"In addition to the general goriness of the exhibit, the source of the bodies has cause considerable controversy. Unlike von Hagen's, the bodies in the Seattle exhibit were those of people who died of natural causes but were unclaimed by friends or relatives (Doughton). Because they were unclaimed, the bodies were donated to a medical hospital and were later plasticized for Bodies. Dr. Sui Hongjin, a protege of Dr. Hagens, was in charge of the plasticization technique used on the bodies on display in the exhibit (Doughton)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the legislative process in the United States is a complex process full of checks and balances to ensure that each law passed in this country is in the best interest of its citizens. This paper outlines the legislative process in the United States as well as the steps a bill must go through to become law. Furthermore,it discusses the history of a specific bill, including the introduction of that bill, the major provisions of that bill, the Senate and House Committees, which it was sent to for review and the final vote on the bill.
From the Paper
"The most common legislative process that we think of, however, is the making of the laws. The first stage of a bill becoming law in the United States is of course the drafting of the bill. Many government officials may be involved in this process including but not limited to a senator, representative, the white house, state legislatures, organizations, scholars, and constituents. The next step in a senate bill becoming law is that it is introduced in Senate Chamber by the senator. Next, "If no objection is heard, the bill is considered read twice and referred to the appropriate committee" (Legislative, p. 1). The bill is then entered on the Senate Journal and given a number (Legislative, p. 1). Following this step, the "bill is entered into ledgers and the Legislative Information System and marked up for printing" (Legislative, p. 1). "

Nursing Regulatory and Accreditation Bodies, 2008.
This paper looks at nursing regulatory and accreditation bodies that ensure the quality and professionalism of the nurses' care for the patient.
1,034 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that professionalism in the field of nursing demands strict self-regulation and continuous improvement of the standard of care through evidence-based recommendations and quality research. The writer notes that professionalism also demands a multi-disciplinary approach in order to arrive at comprehensive, individualized treatment options for the patient. The nurses' roles as researcher, planner, policy-maker, educator, leader and collaborator testify to the ethical responsibilities they share towards patients, colleagues and the populations they affect through their decisions. In practice, the writer maintains that it is the nurse that plays a large part in formulating and implementing patient care plans, evaluating their outcomes and continuously enforcing and improving the quality of care. The writer concludes that accrediting and regulatory bodies are different levels of professional accountability in the nursing profession that protect consumers from unnecessary harm and employers from the legal consequences of the malpractice of individual employees.
Outline:
Introduction
Regulatory Body: Purpose and Scope
Accrediting Body: Purpose and Scope
Similarities and Differences
Conclusion
From the Paper
"From the above, it can be seen that both regulation and accreditation provide different strata of professional accountability as they relate to the practice of safe, comprehensive and competent patient care. Accountability can also be seen in terms of institutional and individual accountability. Institution accreditation, while accountable for educating its graduates according to its own set of mission objectives, philosophy and goals, is no longer directly accountable for any shortcomings of the individual nurse in terms of clinical practice and continuing education. As the nurse enters individual practice, jurisdiction falls to the state nursing boards to determine individual accountability. Another difference is that (in the case of the U.S.), accreditation is done through a nationally recognized agency. This is advantageous in that accredited institutions adhere to a uniform set of accreditation prerequisites, which in effect standardizes core education competencies. Regulatory bodies, in contrast, have a more narrow authority, determined by governmental jurisdiction and specialization. This is advantageous in that individual registered nurses, irrespective of higher education, can be restricted in terms of area of practice and prosecuted according to state law if necessary. Additionally, individuals, rather than institutions, can more easily be restricted in practice and monitored."

An analysis of legislative impacts on American vocational education.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how as the Industrial Revolution demanded more skilled workers, the role of high school and the need for career-oriented education became increasingly important and how governmental legislation played an important role in the creation of centers for vocational education. This evolution has taken nearly a century and over a dozen laws. This paper comments on the five pieces of legislation that the author feels has have had the greatest impact on the evolution of vocational education.
From the Paper
"The purpose of secondary and post-secondary education has always been a topic of some debate. As the Industrial Revolution demanded more skilled workers, the role of high school and the need for career-oriented education became increasingly important ("Vocational education"). Unfortunately, expensive and selective universities were not always able to meet this need, but their smaller counterparts were. Governmental legislation played an important role in the creation of centers for vocational education. This evolution has taken nearly a century and over a dozen laws. For the space of this essay, however, I will comment on the five pieces of legislation that I feel have had the greatest impact on the evolution of vocational education."

From the Paper
"This calorie spread will change your biochemistry to burn bodyfat. By eating frequent meals, your metabolism is constantly charged up. Principal three: Choose metabolic-activating foods. Cliff Sheats classifies foods into four groups: lean proteins, starchy carbohydrates, lean fibrous vegetables, and essential fatty acids. Under this principle, your daily food intake should be 25% protein, 65% carbohydrate, and 10% fat. Principal four: Program a moderate aerobic exercise. Exercise has a dramatic impact on metabolism increase if you are eating enough calories to support your extra energy requirements. An aerobic activity several times a week that lasts 45-60 minuets each session is suggested."

"On May 12 the Federal Emergency Relief Act, setting up a national relief system, passed and established the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) which appropriated 500 million dollars for quick relief. This act also created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) with 250,000 immediate jobs for individuals between the age of 18 and 25. Members were supplied with food, shelter, transportation, clothing, medical care, and limited education. Projects undertaken by the CCC were reforestation, road construction, soil erosion, flood control, and development of national parks. Critics to the CCC claimed that this was ?make work.? By its end in 1941, 22 million persons had worked at over 1500 CCC camps across the United States."

The War Powers Act: An Analysis of Legislative Inanity, 2000.
An opinion piece as to why the War Powers Act is inane, empty and clearly an unconstitutional piece of legislation, the epitome of poorly constructed and inadequately thought out and executed legislation, and should be repealed.

From the Paper
"The joint resolution "concerning the war powers of Congress and the President" was passed on November 7, 1973 above a Presidential veto; Congress made the decision to override the veto of President Nixon, a rare legislative occurrence. Such unified support among Congress indicates that the purpose of the act was primarily the self-aggrandizement of Congress, at the expense of the executive branch, compromising the balance of power. The War Powers Act is an inane, empty and clearly unconstitutional piece of legislation, the epitome of poorly constructed and inadequately thought out and executed legislation. It is frequently skirted and is most unclear. Further, it obfuscates responsibility and accountability of government officials. In the interest of the nation, the War Powers Act should be repealed."

Double Jeopardy and Legislative Limitations, 2002.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The legal concept of ?Double Jeopardy? is a rather simple one to define and to understand; but .application of the Double Jeopardy standard is anything but easy or simple. The paper describes Double Jeopardy as a limitation in court proceedings that the same person cannot be tried for the same crime twice, regardless of the verdict or outcome of the first trial. But, as with all legal procedures and rules of order, there are exceptions to the rule. The paper shows that in cases where new evidence is found that can demonstrate a person?s innocence, a trial is considered warranted because the outcome could not adversely affect the person already convicted. If, however, the new evidence could prove an already determined innocent person guilty, then Double Jeopardy rules start being applicable. The paper concludes that Double Jeopardy actively prevents multiple prosecutions and overlapping punishments for the same crime.
From the Paper
"The key issue in our modern application of Double Jeopardy is whether or not it was intended to just limit the actions of the executive and judicial branches, or whether it was meant to include actions of the legislative branch. The Court's seeming unwillingness to decide if the Clause protects against legislative incursions upon Double Jeopardy values accounts for most of the confusion in Double Jeopardy jurisprudence. By this, it is meant that the Double Jeopardy Clause either does or does not limit Legislative ability to create new and additional punishments for the same crime. For example, does Double Jeopardy prevent Congress from making a law that allows for a person to be given additional punishments for every person secondarily affected by a murder (while current practice is to punish the crime itself, this hypothetical law would allow for the same crime?s punishment to be based upon the number of people in the family and community directly affected by the crime and to add additional years of punishment)."

Abstract
Sarah A. Binder's article on "The Dynamics of Legislative Gridlock, 1947-96" provides profound statistical and historical insight into how the dynamics of a legislative government system works in terms of the potential bipartisan establishment of alliances between elected individuals. The paper shows that Binder?s central argument suggests that a sense of internal party cohesion creates less favorable conditions for passing legislation, rather than facilitates the passing of new laws. In other words, the more strongly allied different individuals within a political party are to particular party ideology and to themselves as ?Democrats? or ?Republicans?, the less apt they are to make concessions to members of the opposing party. Rather than forming ties to the legislature as a governing body, representatives with strong party allegiances form ties to their party?s governing structures instead.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the most famous example that springs to mind during the period chronicled by Binder is Senator Jesse Helm?s filibusters of civil rights legislation in the senate. The senator?s allegiance to segregationist ideology enabled him to use the rules and protocols of the senate to almost ?kill? historic civil rights laws. Helm?s allegiance to segregationist and the Dixiecrat ideology ultimately made him wish to break away from the Democratic Party. But this was not a time of great unity within the Democratic Party. Thus, to Binder?s approval and to prove Binder?s point, because of this lack of party unity, a Democratic president, Lyndon Johnson, enabled the civil rights legislation of the 1960?s to be passed, in opposition to members of his own party. This example shows how a lack of party allegiance can indeed enable the legislature to ?get things done.?"
